Is this your daughter?

No, this is not Alaina...but she would pass as her sister. Don't ya think? :) This is Blanche. She has been waiting for her forever family way too long.

Is she not one of the most beautiful 9 year old girls you have ever seen?

Blanche lives in an orphanage in China. She has been through several surgeries in which she lost her lower left leg, below the knee and the toes on her right foot.

Doesn't stop her though. Madison Adoption has several videos of her running on her prosthetic leg that she received almost two years ago. She's very blessed to have this prosthetic leg as many don't have the privilege of wearing one, in China. However, she did receive it almost two years ago and you can tell in the video that she needs a new one soon. Her body is growing as well as her right leg...and the left prosthetic leg is now too short.

She's such a sweet girl in the video. She said her dream is to attend a university to study and her favorite subject in school is Chinese and drawing.

I'm just certain that she will be able to play sports and live a normal life.

We pray her forever family can get to her soon. For more information, contact Diana at Madison:

And keep me posted if you take one look at her and know she is yours. I love her. She reminds me so much of Alaina.
